Annual family pictures are a tradition that is dearly important to me. It is so fun to document each year & how each child has changed and grown. And for me, with our blended family, it has been really special to see how much our kids have become more and more like 'true' brothers and sisters as time has gone by. This year we were fortunate to be able to have our family pictures done in Hawaii by a close friend of mine, Megan. I wanted casual styling, yet wanted to be able to add a bit of glam & because Keia had blueish turquoise hair at the time, I decided to go with graphic tees, jeans on the boys, and skirts on us girls. It was great because everyone was comfortable, and I think the easy going styling lent itself perfectly to the playful, laid back vibe of our surroundings.
